Events & Exhibitions 3 min. reading

The Preciosa Foundation, in collaboration with RealLocate, organised an exclusive charity auction to support the Glass Museum Kamenický Šenov. The auction featured unique original works crafted by various Preciosa Group companies. The generous proceeds will contribute to the museum’s recon­struction and modernisation.

A remarkable creation by Lukáš Jabůrek and Preciosa Lighting stood out as the highlight of this auction. The Krystal Vase, an iconic masterpiece, seamlessly blends tradition with innovation. Equally attractive was a crystal whiskey bottle with a wooden mould filled with exceptional 15-year-old whiskey from the family-owned Dlabka Distillery.
A unique dress created for Preciosa’s global fashion campaign, debuted at Fashion Week in New York. The new work by renowned painter Petr Písařík-Imagination combines painting with precise glass craft.
A stunning masterpiece that merges traditional crystal craftsmanship with timeless elegance. Each chess piece is hand-melted into wooden molds, meticulously cut, and polished, giving it a unique character. The chessboard is crafted from exquisite red leather.

As a long-time supporter of Czech glassmaking, the Preciosa Foundation hosted a special auction to benefit the Glass Museum in Kamenický Šenov. This historic institution, one of the oldest of its kind, is a true treasure of glassmaking heritage—yet it remains one of the last museums awaiting reconstruction and modernisation.

The power of art

The auction was held in the prestigious setting of the Preciosa Flagship Store in Prague, drawing prominent cultural and business figures. This extraordinary evening, attended by over 200 guests, became a celebration of creativity, generosity and cultural heritage. By the end of the night, the museum had successfully auctioned artworks totalling CZK 500,000.

Organised by the Preciosa Foundation, the auction proved that the true value of art goes beyond aesthetics—it has the power to unite people and contribute to a brighter future.
